A method of determining a region of interest may include with a first image capturing device, determining a region of interest within a field of view common between the first image capturing device and a second image capturing device, the first image capturing device capturing an image at a lower resolution than the second image capturing device; determining a corner defining the region of interest; and upscaling the determined corner to match a corner within a field of view of an image captured by the second image capturing device.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, comprising completing the upscaling of the corner within a single frame.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first image capturing device and second image capturing device are within the same device.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first image capturing device and second image capturing device have different fields of view.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first image capturing device is an image capturing device that captures an image within the electromagnetic spectrum.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein a frame rate of the first image capturing device is equal to or higher than a frame rate of the second image capturing device.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first image capturing device sends image data captured to a host device for corner determination and corner upscaling.
8. The method of claim 1, further comprising performing a keystone correction to register the determined corners to a perspective of the second image capturing device.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a region of interest comprises performing pixel analysis to identify an object to be tracked within the region of interest.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a region of interest comprises performing object recognition to identify an object to be tracked within the region of interest.
11. The method of claim 1, wherein upscaling the determined corner comprises increasing a sampling rate of portions of frames where the determined corners are located within frames recorded by the first image capturing device.
12. The method of claim 1, further comprising upscaling just the determined corner to match the corner within the field of view of the image captured by the second image capturing device.
14. The image capturing system of claim 13, wherein the image upscaling module receives upscaling data from a processor of a host device communicatively coupled to the image capturing system.
15. The image capturing system of claim 13, wherein the first camera records an infrared image.
16. The image capturing system of claim 14, wherein the host device streams a video image of the matched corners within the field of view of the captured images received by the second camera.
17. The image capturing system of claim 13, wherein a frame rate of the first camera is equal to or higher than a frame rate of the second camera.
19. The camera device of claim 18, wherein a frame rate of the first image capturing device is equal to or higher than a frame rate of the second image capturing device.
20. The camera device of claim 18, wherein the first image capturing device is an infrared camera.
